The present invention relates generally to mechatronic locks and more specifically, and preferably, wireless mechatronic smart lock systems for locking doors which can be operated by a mechanical tool after positive authentication of the user. In a first aspect, there is provided a mechatronic lock system arranged for actuating a door lock operating member for locking and unlocking a door upon activation of said system comprising: an outside lock interface, comprising means for receiving a mechanical tool, arranged for operating said door lock operating member by a user of said lock system upon receiving said mechanical tool; an inner assembly, comprising: a wireless communication unit, arranged for wireless communication with a wireless communication device for authorizing said user; a control unit, in communicative connection with said wireless communication unit and arranged to activate said system for unlocking said door by activating a mechatronic clutch arranged for coupling said outside lock interface to said door lock operating member; wherein said mechatronic clutch is activated upon positive authorization of said user for opening said door by operating said outside lock interface.

An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.

Apparatus for unlocking and locking a lock (1′) enabling access to protected areas. The apparatus comprises a housing (5) with a housing interior (64). A rotational shaft (30) is in operative connection with the housing. A motor (10) extends in the housing interior (64), is in operative rotational connection with shaft (30) and is operative to rotate the shaft (30). A battery cell (9) extends in the housing interior (64) and is in partially surrounding relation of the motor (10). The battery cell is in operative electrical connection with the motor (10). In cross section, the battery cell (9) includes at least two points (34) and (36) such that a line segment (32) joining these two points passes through the motor (10).

An electronic cylinder lock has a main body. The main body is provided with a rotary cam. A first shaft is connected to the rotary cam. The first shaft has a first engaging portion. The main body is provided with a second shaft. The second shaft has a second engaging portion. A control lever is connected to the second shaft. A driving source is connected to the control lever. The driving source can drive the control lever to pull the second shaft to approach the first shaft, so that the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion, thereby improving the joint stability between the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion.

A smart lock for securing a door comprising: a housing mountable to the door; an actuator within the housing configured to actuate a lock mechanism between a locked position and an unlocked position, the lock mechanism including a latch bolt with an angled front face, the latch bolt configured to be retractable against a biasing force provided by a biasing means such that the door is closeable when the lock mechanism is in the locked position; and a receiver within the housing configured to wirelessly receive a signal to control operation of the actuator; a sensor mountable exclusively to the door so as to generate a signal indicative of the door beginning to move; a controller arranged to receive the signal indicative of the door beginning to move, the controller configured to control the actuator to actuate the lock mechanism in response to the signal indicative of the door beginning to move.

An actuating device (12) comprising an actuating element (14); an electric generator (16); and an electromechanical coupling device (18) configured to adopt a decoupled state, for decoupling the actuating element (14) from a locking member (22), and a coupled state, for coupling the actuating element (14) to the locking member (22); wherein the coupling device (18) comprises a blocker (26), a holder (38) and a release mechanism (40); wherein the holder (38) is arranged to adopt a holding position, in which the holder (38) holds the blocker (26), when the coupling device (18) adopts the coupled state; wherein the holder (38) is arranged to adopt a released position, in which the holder (38) does not hold the blocker (26), when the coupling device (18) adopts the decoupled state; and wherein the release mechanism (40) is arranged to mechanically force the holder (38) from the holding position to the released position by manual rotation of the actuating element (14) about the actuating axis (20).

A door lock system includes a toolless handing assembly that selectively sets a handle in a left or right home position. The handing assembly may cooperate with a disc and a spring that biases the disc to a default position. The disc may be rotated in a first direction to set the disc in a first home position. A catch may engage the disc to retain the disc in the first home position. The catch may be released to return the disc to the default position and the disc may be rotated in a second direction to set the disc in a second home position, opposite the first home position.

A door lock system that adjusts to doors of different thicknesses. The door lock system may include self-adjusting spindles that engage and center a lock body in a door. The spindles may exert equal and opposing forces that center the lock body within the door and align the lock body with a latch.

An exit device according to one embodiment includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic dogging mechanism. The exit device is configured to locally analyze sensor data to determine the security state of the exit device, report data to a management system via a wireless communication channel established between the exit device and the management system, and receive and process instructions to perform an electronic dogging operation.

A lock module comprises a cylinder including a control latch configured to mechanically rotate between an extended position to prevent removal of the cylinder from a lock assembly, and a retracted position to allow removal of the cylinder from the lock assembly. A rotator is configured to enable the control latch to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position. An actuation rod is configured to travel between a tab-blocking position maintaining the control latch in the extended position, and a retracted position allowing the control latch to retract into a retracted position. A control pin is configured to restrict the travel of the actuation rod in a control pin-blocking position in response to the rotator being rotated to a locked position and to retract from blocking the travel of the actuation rod to the control pin-unblocking position in response to the rotator being rotated to an unlocked position.
